Description

  The present invention relates to a polyester synthetic fiber structure excellent in flame retardancy and durability.

  Conventionally, various methods for imparting flame retardancy to polyester fiber structures, particularly fabrics, by post-processing are known.

  For example, as a flame retardant, a halogen compound, typically, for example, brominated cycloalkane such as 1,2,5,6,9,10-hexabromocyclododecane is used as a flame retardant in water with a dispersant. A method is known in which a flame retardant processing agent dispersed is adhered to a polyester fiber fabric (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, according to the method for imparting flame retardancy by attaching a halogen compound to the polyester fiber structure, harmful halogenated gas is generated when the polyester fiber structure burns, There are problems such as harmful effects on

  Thus, in the past, in place of such a halogen-based compound, a phosphoric ester not containing a halogen has been used as a flame retardant to impart flame retardancy to a polyester-based fiber structure.

  For example, a method is known in which a flame retardant processing agent obtained by emulsifying and dispersing a liquid phosphate ester such as resorcinol bis (diphenyl phosphate) in water with a surfactant is attached to a polyester-based synthetic fiber fabric (for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3).

  However, such phosphate ester, which is conventionally known as a flame retardant, can impart flame retardant performance excellent in washing resistance to a polyester fiber structure, but its flame retardant is dry resistant. Not cleanable.

  Furthermore, in order to obtain the desired flame retardant performance by using such phosphate ester as a flame retardant and attaching it to the polyester fiber structure, a large amount of flame retardant is attached to the polyester fiber structure. It is necessary to make it. If a large amount of flame retardant is attached to the polyester fiber structure in this way, these flame retardants gradually move to the surface of the polyester fiber structure with the passage of time, and in that case, the polyester fiber structure Disperse dyes and the like used for dyeing materials also move to the surface together in a state dissolved in a phosphoric acid ester which is a flame retardant, and so-called bleed out occurs.

As described above, the dye transferred to the surface of the polyester-based synthetic fiber structure has problems such as contaminating other products and significantly reducing the dyeing fastness of the polyester-based fiber structure itself.
